(I Am the Very Model of a) Scientist Salarian *FULL SONG* ft. Will Roland - The 8-Bit Big Band

Loved animating for this! The song is so good 😁😁😁 also really glad you released a month early! 🎉🎉🎉

WHAT THE F JUST HAPPENED

Ho. Ly. SHIT! That was incredible!

I am the very model of a scientist Salarian
I've studies species turian, asari, and batarian
I'm quite good at genetics as a subset of biology
Because I am an expert which I know is a tautology.

In four directions cardinal I know the blot routine-ry
I problem-solve with tools and guns and even farm machinery.
I'll sing your genome base to base, the T the A the C and G
I'll solve your ailments be you sick or stroking out or seizure-y

Chorus:
He'll solve your ailments be you sick or stroking out or seizure-y!
He'll solve your ailments be you sick or stroking out or seizure-y!
He'll solve your ailments be you sick or stroking out or seizure-seizure-y!

My knowledge is prodigious though I'm stuffy and professor-y
I'm fluent in the vorcha tongue and hanar luminescer-y
My xenoscience studies range from urban to agrarian
I am the very model of a scientist Salarian!

Chorus:
His xenoscience studies range from urban to agrarian
He is the very model of a scientist salarian!

While you're still eating breakfast I am studying catalysis
My ideal date would finish with statistical analysis
I've mastered optic instruments, reflective and refractory
I don't begrudge the quarians their hypochondriact-ery

I've memorized – eidetic – all my patients' anamnesises.
I've written papers, scores and scores, and that's not counting thesises!
I'll toxify my enemies with nary an apology
Then spend my weekends brushing up on elcor enzymology!

Chorus:
He spends his weekends brushing up on elcor enzymology!
He spends his weekends brushing up on elcor enzymology!
He spends his weekends brushing up on elcor enzymolomology!

When I complete a surgery I sign my name in suturing
I've cut up more batarians than Torfan's famous butchering!
If knowledge is a library than I'm its king librarian
I am the very model of a scientist salarian!

Chorus:
If knowledge is a library than he's its king librarian
He is the very model of a scientist salarian!

When I know all the acids be they levo, dextro rotamers,
When I tell your asari child her genes are only sortof yours.
When I read all the theories that my colleagues find heretical
When I know all the finer points of therapies genetical
When I could still cure cancer with my brain just halfway functioning.
When I can fix mutating cells, the point, the nondisjunctioning!
In short, when I've a smattering of transgenetic strategy
You'll say another scientist has never yet been half of me!

Chorus:
You'll say another scientist has never yet been half of him!
You'll say another scientist has never yet been half of him!
You'll say another scientist has never yet been half been half of him!

Though my skeptics call me mad and though they always try to censure me
And even though I'm lucky if I live just half a century
Even on my offdays I'd outdo the best Noverian
I am the very model of a scientist salarian!

Chorus:
Even on his offdays he'd outdo the best Noverian
He is the very model of a scientist salarian!

Ah! Humans take my verbage.. turn it into music! Playing instruments-singing-tempo-conductor.... Feel... honored.

Seriously, though; this is amazing.

If Mass Effect was a musical, that would be it's finest song

Legit made me tear up. Just my memories from watching Mordin save me

Превосходно

I haven't played Mass Effect but I love this song

Holy hell! Great day to be a mass effect fan (and Mordin Solus fan)

I absolutely adored this!!❤❤

Had to be Roland. Someone else might have gotten it wrong.

Tfw singing suicide notes to those you know will investigate. The krogan homeworld could be livable again

This made me cry.

This is super-human level of creative perfection! 😳🫶

Yeah but can he hum a fugue of wich he heard din'afore?

I can honestly say running to this gave me one of my best mile times in years

I cannot physically express how much I absolutely love this! This is complete perfection. Absolutely amazing. Bravo!

“Had to be me… Someone else might have gotten it wrong…”
Still hurts…

You know, if Mordin dies in me2, Padok will take his place - and will talk about how Mordin was a pain in the ass because he was always singing this lol

Happy N7 Day guys

i don't even know the game(?) this is referencing but the lyrics and performance are both IMPECCABLE

This is absolutely amazing, as a Mass Effect fan and musician - what an introduction to your fantastic channel!

This made me so damn happy.

Well, unlike the very model of a modern major general, the very model of a scientist salaran was compotent at his field of work.

What a time to be alive.

We are watching a non cannon extension of a side dialog from a 15 year old video game that was a parody of a opera from 1879 that was mocking the current military structure that had been around for centuries.

What else is there to say?

i love this

Pirates of Penzance is my favorite opera which makes this even better

...you know Gilbert and Sullivan? Also this is one of the highlights of my past two decades

This is fucking brilliant!

Someone else…. Might have gotten it wrong.

really hope Jace911 has seen this

amazing

HOW DIDN'T I KNEW THIS EXISTED TILL NOW ❤ my boy deserved better

Man. I keep coming back. This is just wonderul. I play the trilogoy every year on the N7 anniversary and as we get closer i keep listening to this more often. Gosh i just love this❤

It's a great rendition but the song misses the satire of the original, the major-general knows everything but what's required for their role, the scientist salarian's arrogance appears justified.

This was incredible, well done

cuando descrubi que mordin tambien era un cantante no lo podia creer hasta que se puso a cantar xd

I'm speechless, this is pure gold!

I wish I had but more than one like to give

Singing a patter song, at speed, while playing a video game.

(Hmm, strategy, challenging rhyme. Philately ?, no stamp collecting too esoteric. Sat-a-gee? Homage to original lyrics? No to archaic will confuse audience. Something simpler preferred. Had to be me? No, No, doesn’t fit meter. No NO! YES!!)

It had to be done rightly, and so I’m the one it had to be.

Song's missing an explosion at the very end.

Thank you for making the worst possible day of my life end on a happy note! This made me smile more than you can believe!

I love this. I wish i could like it more than once. And i love the love it's getting in the comments.

"Risk of archaic vocabulry confusing audience"
Yeah, Mordin, because nothing else in these lyrics will be confusing at all.

You do realize he’s a war criminal, right?

he is the Very Model of a Scientist Salarian
